B.C. will strengthen biofuel industry with Canadian-content requirements

The Province is taking action to strengthen British Columbia’s energy resilience and support local biofuel producers, ensuring cleaner transportation fuels and greater energy security for people in B.C.

“British Columbians deserve a reliable, sustainable and Canadian fuel supply,” said Adrian Dix, Minister of Energy and Climate Solutions. “By increasing the Canadian biofuel content in our transportation fuels, we will support local producers, protect jobs and reduce our dependence on foreign energy. This action reflects our commitment to cleaner energy, economic growth and a resilient future for British Columbians.”

B.C. and Canadian biofuel producers have long felt the impact of the competitive advantage American producers have over Canadian producers because of U.S. subsidies, which have increased under the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act.

To support B.C. and Canadian biofuel producers, protect local jobs throughout the supply chain and strengthen British Columbia’s energy security, the Province is making key amendments to regulations under the Low Carbon Fuels Act that prioritize the inclusion of Canadian biofuels in B.C.’s transportation fuels. This action will stabilize the biofuel market and support B.C. companies such as Tidewater Renewables in Prince George, Parkland in Burnaby and Consolidated Biofuels in Delta.

“We welcome the Government of B.C.’s changes to the Low Carbon Fuels Act and the commitment to strengthen the Canadian biofuel sector,” said Jeremy Baines, president and CEO, Tidewater Renewables. “This is a good first step in levelling the playing field with imported biofuels that take advantage of overlapping foreign and Canadian policies, and moving toward an economically viable Canadian renewable fuel industry. Tidewater is committed to being a leader in the energy transition, continuing to develop made-in-B.C. energy solutions, creating good-paying jobs in British Columbia and continuing to supply low-carbon fuels, helping British Columbia and Canada meet emissionreduction targets.”

Effective Jan. 1, 2026, the minimum 5% renewable-fuel requirement for gasoline must be met with eligible renewable fuels produced in Canada. The renewable-fuel requirement for diesel is 4% and will immediately be increased to 8%. Beginning April 1, 2025, the renewable content of diesel fuel must be produced in Canada.

The Province has been working closely with B.C. biofuel producers and suppliers to develop an approach that supports the entire industry and limits price impacts. This aligns with the Province’s commitment to sustainability and competitiveness, balancing environmental goals with economic development, signalling B.C.'s leadership in advancing a cleaner and more resilient energy future.

Federal government invests in shoreline adaptation and restoration for the Tsleil-Waututh Nation

Erosion and flood protection improvements will help preserve the səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh Nation) shores after a joint investment of more than $10.1 million from the federal government and the Nation.

This project includes beach replenishment, which will involve concept planning and engineering, site preparation, marine riparian shoreline planting, and the installation of intertidal adaptation features.

These improvements will protect the shoreline while promoting biodiversity, restoring habitat health, strengthening structural capacity, and improving ecological systems. This project will also increase

2025 Nissan Kicks SR Premium: Cool Styling, Attractive Pricing!

Auto Review by Veeno Dewan

For 2025, the Nissan Kicks compact Crossover is based on a new stiffer platform and has a new 2.0L engine replacing the previous 1.6L Four cylinder and, for the first time, available all-wheel drive (AWD).

In the design department, there is sharp fresh look with LED light strips flanking the front grille, plus the cool “floating” roof feature. The rear fascia receives a new full-width LED light setup. Overall- this is handsome looking SUV. Cabin updates include an available d 12.3-inch centre touchscreen, more technology options, extra rear cargo space, updated safety aids as well as new comfort and convenience options.

The uprated 2.0L four-cylinder engine replaces the previous 1.6L unit and makes 141 hp and 140 lb-ft of torque. (Up 21 hp and torque increased by 27 lb-f from the previous unit.) The transmission as before; remains an automatic continuously variable transmission (CVT), remapped for better performance and fuel efficiency.

The 2025 Kicks comes in three trim levels: S, SV, and SR Premium. The S and SV come standard with Front Wheel Drive, but can be optioned with All Wheel Drive, while the SR Premium (As evaluated) is AWD only. In terms of pricing, the S trim and

FWD starts at $29,229, SV (FWD) is $30,779. AWD adds $2,000. The SR Premium AWD is $36,929 plus $1,855 Freight and PDE The base S and SV get a seven-inch instrument cluster. with cloth upholstery, while the SR Premium has faux leather with cloth inserts. The SV and SR Premium have 17-inch rims, while the S has 16 -inch wheels. The SV offers an extra cost Premium Package with panoramic sunroof, roof rails, and more.

All trims include wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay; two USB-C ports up front, while the SR Premium has a total of 4 USB outlets. Entertainment and Connectivity can be enabled by the Nissan Connect SM system.

The fully loaded SR model has the 19-inch wheels and also offers heated seats, remote start, climate control, blind spot warning, and LED lamps. The Bose Audio system includes eight speakers, of which two are located in the headrest for the driver. the SR Premium has the configurable 12.3-inch digital instrument panel housed under a single seamless pane. SV and SR Premium levels also offer a wireless charger and automatic climate control. Tested here was the SR Premium, which adds an auto-dimming mirror, red accent stitching, and a soft -touch lower dash panel finished off with a faux carbon fibre effect.

Interior wise - the Kicks interior is classy looking with a premium feel and look. Raised stitched detailing around the dash and console adds some refinement. In cabin storage is handy with multiple storage places and cubbyholes. The seats are spacious and leg and head room is fine. Four normalsized adults fit inside comfortably, five at a push. Rear cargo space is expanded in the 2025 model with 677 – 850L litres of space with the rear seats up and 915 litres with the seats folded down.

In terms of safety, All trims come standard the Nissan Safety Shield 360, suite which includes emergency front and rear braking, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning, rear parking sensors, and automatic high-beam headlights, plus adaptive cruise control. The SR Premium further adds lane-keep assist,

Kicks feels lighter, more car- like and nimble in corners. The All- Wheel Drive system works well; mostly driving the front wheels but can send up to 50 per cent of the available torque to the rear wheels as needed. There is also a drive mode setting for slippery conditions. Harsher road surfaces do allow for more noise, bumps, and knocks, but it is not really obtrusive. Long range driving comfort is also aided by Nissan offering its excellent pressure reducing “zero gravity” seats in both the front and rear. The continuously variable transmission (CVT) exhibits well timed smooth shifts. Front-wheeldrive models are officially rated at a fuel economy of 7.4 L/100 km in combined driving —while the AWD version offers 7.7. combined.

To sum up, the Kicks does make a great family CUV with its five-seat capacity

blind-spot steering intervention, front parking sensors, traffic sign recognition, surround-view cameras, and an extra l airbag between the front seats. It also receives ProPilot Assist, a first for the Kicks, which combines adaptive cruise with lane centring.

On the road, the Nissan Kicks handles most road surfaces very well. The

and stand out cargo room. The Nissan Kicks is also superbly affordable and terrific value for money. The new changes and updates are perfect for this model. Highly recommended.

More than 70 projects will strengthen wildfire prevention, support forestry

Workers and communities throughout B.C. are benefiting from Forest Enhancement Society of BC (FESBC) supported projects that reduce wildfire risk and increase fibre supply, keeping local mills and energy plants running in the face of U.S. tariff threats and unjustified softwood lumber duties.

With $28 million from the Province, FESBC is supporting 43 new and expanded fibre-recovery projects and 31 new and expanded wildfire-mitigation projects.

“In tough times, I want workers in our forest sector to know I’ve got their back,” said Ravi Parmar, Minister of Forests. “Whether it’s better utilizing existing sources of fibre or helping protect communities from wildfire, the projects are supporting workers and companies as they develop new and innovative forest practices.”

Projects are taking place in all eight of the Province’s natural resource regions, helping create jobs, reducing wildfire risk and supporting B.C.’s pulp and biomass sector. They will be complete by the end of March 2025, in advance of wildfire season.

Fibre-recovery projects take wood fibre that would otherwise be burned

or abandoned and put it in the hands of mills and forestry companies that can use it, helping keep forestry workers on the job. Through the Province’s continued investment in FESBC, the projects they support have delivered 44,000 logging truckloads worth of fibre out of the bush since April 2024. That fibre would once have been burned in slash piles and is instead creating jobs and revenue for local businesses.

“These projects are putting local businesses and people to work reducing wildfire risk and recovering fibre for local pulp mills, and pellet and energy plants,” said Jason Fisher, executive director, FESBC. “FESBC received strong proposals from across the province and we are pleased to support this strong group of proponents in their forest-management activities.”

Government continues to take action to support the forest sector in the face of U.S. softwood lumber duties and tariff threats, including through the recently formed Softwood Lumber Advisory Council, streamlining the permitting process and continuing to advocate to the federal government.

Special Public Avalanche Warning in place for BC and western Alberta backcountry

Avalanche Canada, in partnership with Parks Canada, Alberta Parks, and the Province of British Columbia, has issued a Special Public Avalanche Warning for recreational backcountry users across most forecast regions in BC and Alberta. This special warning is in effect immediately and remains in place through Monday, March 3.

A cohesive slab of snow 30 to 100 centimetres thick sits over a variety of prominent weak layers in the upper snowpack that formed during dry periods in January and February. This has created a reactive avalanche problem leading to serious incidents and close calls. While natural avalanche activity has slowed, humantriggered avalanches remain likely.

“We’ve been tracking these weak layers closely over this past month,” says Avalanche Canada Avalanche Forecaster Zoe Ryan. “Now that the snow on top of them has consolidated, it’s a recipe for dangerous avalanches. These highly problematic layers remain primed for human triggering.”

“We know backcountry users are eager to enjoy the snow,” adds Ryan, “but this is a tricky avalanche problem. The snowpack is going to take time to strengthen. Good travel habits and selecting conservative terrain will be critical because getting caught in one of these avalanches could be deadly.”

To reduce risk, Avalanche Canada recommends:

Sticking to lower-angle slopes (less than 30 degrees)

Choosing terrain that minimizes the consequences of an avalanche

Traveling one at a time when exposed to avalanche terrain

Avoiding sun-exposed slopes during warm and/or sunny conditions

“Avalanche conditions across B.C. are especially dangerous, and I strongly urge people to stay alert and be extra careful,” says Kelly Greene, Minister of Emergency Management and Climate Readiness. “The weather is starting to warm, and that will bring more people to the mountains. Avalanches can have devastating consequences and, tragically, have claimed the lives of two people in B.C. this year. I urge everyone to check the avalanche forecast before heading out, make cautious decisions, and consider delaying their trip to the mountains until conditions are safer.”

Backcountry users should always check the avalanche forecast at https://avalanche.ca. Everyone in a backcountry group must carry essential rescue gear — an avalanche transceiver, probe, and shovel — and have the training to know how to use it.

Abby Traditional's basketball program is celebrating a remarkable season of triumphs and growth, as both their Junior and Grade 9 Boys teams showcased exceptional skill and sportsmanship throughout their provincial campaigns.

Junior Team Success

Led by coaches Jaskaran Randhawa, Abby Kular, and Harkiret Mann, the Junior Boys team at Abby Traditional has achieved unprecedented success this season. They clinched several notable titles, including the Abbotsford Police City Tournament Champions and the Abbotsford-Mission League Champions. Their stellar performance continued at the BC Jr Boys Provincials, where they emerged as the Most Sportsmanlike Team among the top 32 teams in British Columbia. This accomplishment marks

a historic first for Abby Traditional, as it is the first time in the school's history that the Junior Boys team has qualified for the Provincial tournament. With an impressive record of 4 wins and 1 loss at the provincials, the team has demonstrated resilience and determination on their journey to success.

Coach Abby Kular reflected on the team's journey, emphasizing the transformative impact of basketball on the school's culture: "Coaching these hardworking young men has been a privilege. Our team not only excelled on the court but also contributed positively to our school's athletic legacy."

Grade 9 Team Achievement

The Grade 9 Boys team mirrored the success of their Junior counterparts, achieving a remarkable second-place

finish across all of British Columbia at the Provincial Tournament. In addition to their strong performance, they were honored with the Most Sportsmanlike Team award, highlighting their commitment to fair play and respect on the court.

Several players from Abby Traditional earned individual recognition for their outstanding contributions:

Ekam Grewal: First Team All Star

Together, we are not only building a strong basketball program but also shaping young men of character."

Looking ahead, the focus remains on nurturing both athletic prowess and personal development among the student-athletes at Abby Traditional. With the Grade 9 team set to compete in the upcoming Provincial Tournament, the future looks promising for basketball at Abby Traditional.

Sukhman Singh Gill Enters Nomination Race for AbbotsfordSouth Langley

Abbotsford-South Langley, BC –Sukhman Singh Gill, a lifelong resident of the Abbotsford-South Langley area, has officially announced his candidacy for the Conservative Party of Canada’s nomination in the Abbotsford-South Langley riding. “I’m concerned about what the future holds for our next generations, and that’s why I decided to step up and run for MP,” he said. Drawing on his deep connection to the community, his experience as a farmer and business owner, and his dedication to creating positive change, Sukhman is committed to addressing the key issues that matter most to local residents.

Addressing Local Concerns with a Strong Platform

Agriculture: Sukhman’s roots in farming drive his passion for supporting local farmers. He aims to advocate for federal programs that promote sustainable farming practices, improve market access, and protect valuable agricultural land from urban sprawl. "As a farmer, I understand the challenges we face, from rising operational costs to limited market access," said Sukhman. "I want to ensure that local farmers can thrive by reducing

federal taxes and supporting policies that prioritize Canadian-grown food."

Public Safety: Sukhman Singh Gill is committed to strengthening public safety in Abbotsford-South Langley by advocating for stricter law enforcement, tougher penalties for repeat offenders, and enhanced crime prevention programs. He is particularly concerned about the impact of soft-on-crime policies like C-75 and C-5, which have led to rising crime and unsafe streets. A key part of his vision is restoring safety in local parks, ensuring families can enjoy public spaces without fear of drug use or illegal activity. He advocates for measures to reduce open drug use in public spaces and combat the opioid crisis. "We need to take a hard stance on these issues to protect our communities and provide a secure environment for all," Sukhman emphasized.

Healthcare and Immigration: Sukhman also prioritizes addressing the growing pressure on healthcare services. He supports improving access to healthcare by advocating for streamlined processes that allow internationally trained professionals, including doctors and nurses, to work in Canada. “The healthcare system

is stretched thin, and we need to support our frontline workers,” said Sukhman. "Additionally, immigration policies need to balance the needs of our local communities with the capacity of our healthcare and infrastructure."

Call to Action Sukhman’s candidacy represents a fresh perspective and a strong voice for the local community. As the nomination race intensifies, he looks forward to engaging with residents, listening to their concerns, and working toward solutions that prioritize the people of Abbotsford-South Langley. To vote for Sukhman Gill in the Conservative Party nomination contest for Abbotsford-South Langley, you must be a member of the Conservative Party of Canada.

Abbotsford’s Community Action Team Raises Awareness During Sexual Exploitation Awareness Week

As the digital world expands, so do the risks for our youth. This Sexual Exploitation Awareness Week, the Abbotsford Community Action Team (ACAT) is once again raising awareness in high schools in Abbotsford and the broader community about sexual exploitation.

The ACAT is made up of service providers and community partners who work together to develop local strategies that address sexual exploitation. The ACAT has representatives from Archway Community Services programs such as the Abbotsford Addictions Centre, Foundry Abbotsford, and the Youth Resource Centre along with representatives from Cyrus Centre and the Abbotsford Youth Commission.

Rising Threats

Sexual exploitation of youth refers to any type of sexual activity with a youth in exchange for money, drugs, food, shelter or any other consideration.

Reports of online child exploitation soared during the COVID-19 pandemic as more of the world turned online. Unfortunately, these instances have not decreased after the pandemic and have been increasing year after year. For example, the BC RCMP Integrated Child Exploitation or ICE Unit handled over 16,000 cases in 2023 – more than double compared to 2022.

These trends are not only in BC but are seen across Canada. The RCMP's National Child Exploitation Crime Centre saw a 15% increase of reports of suspected online child sexual exploitation offences from April 2023 to March 2024 compared to the previous year.

Community Efforts and Educational Initiatives

Multiple schools throughout the Abbotsford School District are participating in school-based preventative education on sexual exploitation.

“Children are online at an increasingly younger age, making it crucial to educate them on online safety,” said Mandy Aujla, youth worker in the Archway Stop Exploiting Youth (SEY) program.

Posters, displays, and online resources are being employed to educate students, caregivers, and teachers.

Initiatives also include educating students on their legal rights regarding non-consensual sharing of intimate images. Since 2023, the Intimate Images Protection Act has made it illegal in BC to share or threaten to share such images. Resources and support to make a claim and have images taken down are available online at takebackyourimages.gov.bc.ca.

Students and caregivers can also visit cybertip.ca to report incidents of online sexual exploitation.

"Online predators can easily reach out to young people through the social media platforms they use daily. This means that even the most attentive and caring parents might not realize what's going on," explained Bev Olfert, Executive Director of the Abbotsford Youth Commission. "Sexual exploitation can affect anyone regardless of gender, socio-economic background, or demographic."

How to Help

The Abbotsford campaign aligns with the provincially recognized Stop the Exploitation of Children and Youth Awareness Week, held from March 3 to 7. Now in its 27th year, this week emphasizes the need for communities to develop strategies for prevention, education, enforcement, and intervention to combat the sexual exploitation of children and youth.

Parents, teachers, and friends are urged to watch for signs such as unexplained money, cellphones, or gifts in young people. They should also be alert to indicators like bruises, withdrawal, moodiness, or protectiveness about relationships.

The Archway Youth Resource Centre continues to see a surge in referrals related to online exploitation.

“Youth that have been sexually exploited feel so much shame when they come forward for help. We want them to know that it’s not their fault and that it can happen to anyone. There are trusted adults that they can come to when they find themselves in an unsafe situation,” said Wanda Phillips, supervisor at the Archway Youth Resource Centre.

Anyone who suspects someone is being sexually exploited is asked to contact the Abbotsford Police.

Women’s Health: A Focus on Awareness and Prevention

With International Women’s Day on March 8th, it’s the perfect time to discuss common health concerns affecting women, especially in the South Asian community. Women’s health can often be overlooked, with many conditions going untreated or undiagnosed. As Maya Angelou said: “When women take care of their health they become their own best friend.” Improving care begins with us as a community raising awareness and encouraging preventative care by providing information and resources to ensure more women can get the support and medical attention they deserve.

It is crucially important that women undergo regular check-ups and screenings. Numerous serious conditions including cervical and breast cancer, can be detected early through pap tests and mammograms. Unfortunately, South Asian women often face significant barriers to access these services due to lack of awareness, cultural stigmas, or reluctance in discussing health concerns. Research by Zou et al. (2021) highlights how many South Asian immigrant women in Canada have difficulty navigating the healthcare system, making preventative care even more important. It is crucial to break these barriers and promote regular medical check-ups.

Dr. Caroline Cook, a local family physician at Abbotsford Medical Centre, emphasizes the importance of a proactive approach to women’s health:

“Women’s health is not just about treating illness, but about fostering strength, resilience, and the power to thrive. Every woman deserves access to the care, support, and respect that empowers her to live her healthiest life. Preventative care and screening are key to supporting women to take control of their well-being before challenges arise. Speaking with your health care provider about age-appropriate screenings (e.g., mammograms, Pap smears, and bone density tests), vaccinations, and reproductive health is important for detecting health issues early and preventing diseases.”

As I discussed in last month’s article, heart disease is a major health issue in the South Asian community. Though it is often seen as something that primarily affects men, heart disease is the leading cause of death for women worldwide. South Asian women are at a high risk for heart disease due to family history, lifestyle, and most importantly, diet. Traditional South Asian food such as deep-fried pakoras, buttery dishes like dal makhani, and refined sugars are major contributors to high blood pressure and diabetes. Small changes such as cutting back on

salt & sugar, using healthier oils such as mustard oil, avoiding vegetable oils and trying to integrate more vegetables and whole grains to your diet can have major beneficial impacts on your heart health. Lastly, try to get your body moving, exercising, whether it is walking, running, yoga, or even dancing, helps to keep your heart strong.

Reproductive health is another important topic of discussion. Conditions such as endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are common among women but often dismissed. Many women suffer from irregular cycles, painful periods, and fertility issues without considering there may be an underlying condition. It is important to have regular check-ups with a doctor to ensure these issues are diagnosed and managed early on. For South Asian women, discussing such topics can be particularly challenging due to cultural stigmas. It is important to encourage open conversations with healthcare professionals to help break these barriers.

Mental health is just as important as physical health, yet it is often not treated as such. South Asian women often face pressure to balance, work, family, and social expectations. Anxiety, depression, and postpartum depression are common in the community and are often stigmatized. Discussing mental

health can be a taboo topic in many families thus it is important for women to know that seeking help is not a sign of weakness but of strength. Talking with a trusted friend, joining a support group, or speaking with a counselor are some initial steps anyone can take in improving their mental health.

Bone health is another common issue amongst women that tends to be overlooked. Women, especially as they get older, are at risk of osteoporosis, which makes bones weak and fragile. South Asian women may be at a higher risk due to low dairy intake and potentially less exposure to sunlight which affects vitamin D levels. It is important to eat food rich in calcium and take vitamin D supplement’s if needed. Doing weight-bearing exercises such as walking can help keep bones strong.

Cultural expectations often lead South Asian women to prioritize their families over their own health. While caregiving is important, self-care is just as vital. Regular check-ups, healthy eating, exercise, and mental well-being should be a priority. This International Women’s Day, let’s break stigmas, encourage awareness, and promote preventive care, because a healthier future for women means a healthier future for all.
